Valenzo FL Horsepark Jan 15 2011

WMM messed up the music transitions!! Me and Valenzo riding third level test 2 at the FL horsepark January 15 2011. This was our first show,after riding him for only 2 months. His trot is Amazing! it is just his "normal"( if you can call it normal) trot, it is no where near his "second" trot! What would you say this ride is worthy of? somewhere around the 70's? I think so. Well, the judge, Marian Cunningham (s) gave our ride a 59%! This just goes to show that judges out here in redneck land don't know a thing about dressage. all they see is horses moving like stick horses all day long. And when they see a nice horse they just want to mock that pair because it is of more quality than the "rest of the horses" If i were to have ridden this test in Wellington (west palm beach, FL) or in the Netherlands, it would have been scored correctly. The first test i did (third level test 1) was scored appropriately with a 63%. Valenzo wasn't really "with me" and not paying attention in that ride, But this one! we were the best at the show! Not one horse came close to Valenzo (quality wise) But you know what? I don't care that the judge gave aa ridiculously low score (just goes to show what a fool she is) I know I rode great and that's all that matters! (after a while, once i ride more shows, judges will not be able to give me low scores anymore) My favorite moment of the ride was at 5:13 to 5:16, I looked to my left, the stands were full and it was very quiet. Thanks for watching and ...
